Aubrey Allen Lawrence

Aubrey Allen Lawrence, 92, of Townsend formerly of Lunenburg, passed away on Saturday evening on June 17, 2023 in his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Fitchburg on March 25, 1931 a son of the late Lester and Eleanor (Cove) Lawrence. He was a graduate of Fitchburg High School in 1948. Aubrey was an electronic technician and owned and operated the L.H. Lawrence Radio and T.V. and later went to work as a quality assurance specialist at Meritape and later Consillium Companies in Littleton up until his full retirement in 2013. He was a member of the Beth Eden Baptist Church and attended Highland Baptist Church for many years. He also attended and served as a Deacon at the West Townsend Baptist Church - and in more recent years, attended the First Baptist Church of Leominster. Aubrey was a member of Trout Unlimited, Atlantic Salmon Federation and United Fly Tyers. He enjoyed fly fishing for trout, Atlantic salmon and a variety of sport fish throughout New England, Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes. He and his father Lester were also avid upland bird hunters and he had fond memories of training and hunting with Timmy, Jake, Gatzby and Wyeth – his cherished bird dogs. Aubrey played ice hockey and coached youth and high school hockey for many years. He remembered the names of many of his teammates and the players he coached over the years. He was also an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox. He greatly enjoyed time spent with his children and grandchildren – and watching “the kids’” sporting events and the vacation time at their cottage on York Beach, Maine and eventually places on Cape Cod and Matane River, Gaspe, Quebec. These were wonderful family times for both he and Beth. In more recent years, he has relived those years filled with pleasant memories at his home at Emerald Place at Lake Whalom and then at Pheasant Ridge in Townsend. He leaves his wife of 70 years, Beth A. (Brooks) Lawrence of Townsend; a son, Richard A. Lawrence, and his wife Kim of Townsend; a daughter, Linda J. Collette of Leominster; five grandchildren, A.
